I'm sitting here I'm thinking back to a time when I was young...
  My memory, is clear as day
  I'm listening to the dishes clink, you were downstairs, you would sing
  Songs of praise
  And all the times we laughed with you, and all the times that you stayed true to us
  Now we say...
  I said I thank you, I'll always thank you
  More than you could know, than I could ever show
  And I love you, I'll always love you
  There's nothing I won't do, to say these words to you
  That you're beautiful forever
  You were my mom, you were my dad, the only thing I ever had was you, it's true
  And even when the times got hard, you were there to let us know...that we'd get through
  You showed me how to be a man, you taught me how to understand the things, people do
  You showed me how to love my God, you taught me that not everyone knows the truth
  And I thank you, I'll always thank you
  More than you could know, than I could ever show
  And I love you, I'll always love you
  There's nothing I won't do, to say these words to you
  That you will live forever
  Always, always and forever
